On Thursday, imo, our line-up was too attacking leaving us exposed. I would go for 4 at the back with KDH, Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison and Barnes ahead. And probably Daka. Lookman becomes an option off the bench. If Perrira is on the right we have potential down both flanks. Thomas or Justin at left back. As always our jeopardy is at centre back and Schmeichel's reticence to claim from crosses. If our defence was better, I would be really optimistic. ....are you playing Barnes and Maddison upfront!!! Read that a couple of times and it could just be you are looking to play Daka up top on his own with Lookman coming off the bench later. I think that is what you are saying the errant full stop made your comments ambiguous. We have to move away from the lone striker, it does not work for our available Forwards. A lone striker role with Daka or Nacho, means that we will have to condense the pitch, meaning playing a high line, but we cannot with Vestergaard or have the understanding between a shaky Soyuncu and a fourth choice Amartey. There is a tough decision to make but Rodgers is paid to do so, and continually putting a player upfront who is now snatching at chances as the service is poor, infrequent, and not how he likes. Confidence starts to wain and he stops doing the things he should be doing because he has become disconnected from the team. He now drifts offside to attempt to gain an advantage, when his pace makes (drifting offside) unwarranted. He now gets caught on the backfoot, not anticipating runs and being behind the play. Vardy has coped with this, we are putting too much on Daka, unless we give him the support that he needs, we are not going to get the best from him. Edited 25 February 2022 by sacreblueits442 2

His physicality is his big problem, but he does see passes and can execute them. Burnley are not going to look to play through midfield and this is not the team you would want to come in against.
lgfualol Posted 25 February 2022 Posted 25 February 2022 (edited) They'll bully us all over the pitch. If we lose we can only hope the other teams below us drop points. Edited 25 February 2022 by lgfualol 1
ronnup Posted 25 February 2022 Posted 25 February 2022 Barnes Vardy and Lookman in a 3, Tielemens, Madders and Wilf. Behind them.

J. James Posted 25 February 2022 Posted 25 February 2022 Worst possible team to play atmit, worst possible place too.. Rather be playing any of the current top 10 than a determined, tough, hard working Burnley on a mini revival and no doubt not fearing us in the least. This is only going one way l fear and l also think Leeds will take a point too. One point from these two games and BR is...... Staying exactly where he is. ☹️

They just play to their strengths which isn't possession based football for the sake of it. They aren't an aggressive side though like some teams are but you have to be switched on to the direct play. It's not a myth; it's just that "physicality" doesn't mean getting stuck in and kicking people. It means hard work and lots of running and making sure the players, especially the centre halves and centre forwards aren't a soft touch. If you want the ball off us, you have to work for it (or wait for us to hoof it to the other end!). Sean Dyche is very much old school where football statistics are concerned. He counts only two statistics as relevant, goals scored and goals conceded. Everything else is a means to an end, and possession in our own half isn't seen as a useful thing to have. The only point of possessing the ball in your own half is that it gives you a starting point for possession in the opposite half, and there is no point faffing about, let's get down to business and play our attacking passes as soon as we can. As for the other side of physicality, the PL record for matches without a sending off now stands at 116, held by Burnley from January 2019 to date. Ipswich had the previous record from 1992-94, 94 matches. 7 1 1
Nick Posted 26 February 2022 Posted 26 February 2022 Be lovely to see Fofana get the last 15 minutes and Vardy the last 30… Tuesday night KO - this isn’t showing in sky or BT so I guess it’s not on any any normal channel?

It's aggression, we hide away from it and often come out as the losers. That said, how crap we are at the minute, the way you play is going to cause our defence and midfield plenty of problems as we no longer can snuff out opposition attacks, we've stopped running, tracking and working in unison. You'll be 2 nil up in the first 20 minutes. 2
An Sionnach Posted 26 February 2022 Posted 26 February 2022 This could be a turgid affair, Burnley will tread on our toes in midfield and try to create chances from set pieces. Our attack will come up against the no- nonsense defending of Mee and Tarkowski. 0-0 or 1-0 either way.

Therefore we can't afford two lightweights of Maddison and Tielemans there at the same time and certainly not a two. Tielemans is on the bench for me, he's not currently contributing enough and you can't continue to wait all game for that one good pass that everyone can swoon at whilst he goes missing and contrives to give the ball away the rest of the time. Defensively he contributes little. For me it has to be Ndidi, KDH and Maddison or there's even room for Mendy for his passing and ball retention or Choudhury for his aggression and breaking up of play before Tielemans currently in this particular game. 1 1

If reports on Barnes injury are true, most likely Madders will play left of a front 3 with Lookman on the right, KDH Youri and Wilf in MF.

What's wrong with Barnes now? If a 433 'without' Barnes I'd have Lookman (on left where best), Iheanacho and Daka. Ndidi, KDH and Maddison in midfield.

Good question - we seem to have poor conditioning and poor decisions on when to play players and when we shouldn't. Is this a dave rennie dismissal legacy? Edited 26 February 2022 by foxinsocks 2

Pretty much why I hope you stay up at the expense of Brentford, its a different and better style to watch than the poundland Man City game some lower table teams attempt.
